<p>I know a few kids who go to Fordham and they were able to get in with below a 2000 on their SAT. This one kid is going there with a lot of merit money and he has a 1950 or something like that. Although your GPA is a but lowish I’d say that Fordham is definitely do-able. I’d say the same about American because from my experiences with kids from my school they’re about the same statistically.
Binghamton though is a pretty tough school, a lot of really smart kids were denied this past year. </p>

<p>i live in the boroughs of New York. I know that if you’re school is a Jesuit school in the Boroughs, then your a sure in.</p>

<p>My school has a close tie with Fordham and like so many kids go there after Graduation. </p>

<p>out of chances, you seem as a match.
BUT, your SAT Scores are a little of the case. ITs not bad, but you could so do better. </p>

<p>Fordam: Match (you will def. get in with Early Action, though.)
American: in most likely
Binghamton: its a very weird procedure they have or acceptance there so you MIGHT have a chance.
Miami: Random acceptance over there as well.</p>
